I was going to join Mike (after the fact) in some Handy Rye, but Shelly's idea seems better at the moment. G-R XO for me.

Cheers Al!

Cheers, Shelly, and I wish my profs would have had a couple drinks before writing my recommendation letters!

Ahh, I think mine did plus a few buttons of psilocybin based upon the job offers I received. Shelly, how would you rate the brandy? Would it be a nice nightcap beverage?

Well, I don't know much about brandy (you may remember me asking for cognac recommendations not that long ago) but I thought it was really nice and would definitely recommend it. I will have to have a little brandy tasting tonight to verify its deliciousness.

Dreadnaught...

Noah's Mill neat. Boy, that's smooth. IMO, a great deal for the price.

Thirsty, so thirsty...

Fountain Square Brewing (another new brewery within walking distance) Backyard Porter & Tractor Head Blonde...too early to tell...

Sweet lord you must go conquer that tap list Al! And fax me some Cantillon while you're there.

while that particular Cantillon isn't that rare, finding it on tap certainly is!...

I can recommend the #300 & I'd kill to try that 50/50...

happy hunting...

Walked away paying $70 for these. Wanted plenty of stuff, but hoping these will serve as 'well mixers'

Rosebud ale at Magnolia before college night with my daughter.

Also having a plate of pickles, including pickled grapes.

Marc: Let me know how you like the Springbank and brandy.

Having a Maison Surrenne Petit Champagne and Germain Robin Coast Road Reserve taste-off. I prefer the G-R but they are both very good.

Will do!

I have been meaning to post this, but Deus cognac isn't bad for $20. I'm curious how the Brillet compares. I haven't had the vatted Springer in years. I did enjoy the Longrow CV, so I'm hoping this one is OK.

Half punt of Proving Ground IPA

Along with chicken bacon sausage with slow egg.

^^^ Looks Tasty!

Agreed. I don't think anything else comes close for $30.

Sazerac.

Congrats to the Cards - good game!

I need to try the Noah's Mill.

My favorite:

mikeymad's post #6612 is the one post I would take with me if I were stuck on a deserted island.

I'd use my 'magination <real hard> and pretend my salt water was "peaty".

Have not had me some VEP in a long time... might have to get one....

They carry it at Cask in SF. Just sayin'

calling.....
